Sony was previously incredibly enthusiastic about incorporating 3D, so the lack of any attention to it at all in their presentations was conspicuous.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Jim Ryan, CEO of Playstation Europe, there isn\u2019t much significance to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t read too much into its omission. We spoke about it at E3 two years ago and everyone put their glasses on for the first time, and the next year we did the same and everyone did it again. Y&#8217;know, there comes a time when you don&#8217;t need to talk about it anymore,&#8221; the executive added. &#8220;Don&#8217;t read into the fact too much that we haven&#8217;t announced anything about 3D.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Credit to a renewed interest in 3D is given to Avatar, spawning a whole wave of horrible 3D movies we\u2019re forced to endure, and pay a premium for. 3D TVs saw a big push, but haven\u2019t gained much traction, and it\u2019s questionable whether or not people are even interested in home 3D.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"GamesIndustry\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/articles\/2012-08-17-sony-downplays-lack-of-3d-at-e3-gamescom\" target=\"_blank\">GamesIndustry<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Sony has \u201cabsolutely no regrets\u201d about being in third place this generation\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/39590-sony-has-absolutely-no-regrets-about-being-in-third-place-this-generation.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sony has \u201cabsolutely no regrets\u201d about being in third place this generation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Sony stands behind 3D\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/13954-sony-stands-behind-3d.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sony stands behind 3D<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"5 consoles the world could have done without\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/14586-5-consoles-the-world-could-have-done-without.html\" target=\"_blank\">5 consoles the world could have done without<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Microsoft \u201cwatching and wanting to understand\u201d 3D\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/12643-microsoft-watching-and-wanting-to-understand-3d.html\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft \u201cwatching and wanting to understand\u201d 3D<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony comments on 3D no-shows at E3 and Gamescom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":43273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2183,6301,31,1597,6243,15399,71],"class_list":["post-43272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-3d","tag-3dtv","tag-active","tag-avatar","tag-jim-ryan","tag-ps3","tag-sony"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43317,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43272\/revisions\/43317"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
